Molenbuurt, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Lange Scheistraat sits right in the thick of things, the city's historic centre is on your doorstep, with restaurants and cafés just around the corner.

The asking price of €250,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,787 per m², though studios in Leiden tend to command a premium.

About Lange Scheistraat 4A, Leiden
At €250,000, this studio works out at about €7,143 per m², which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,787 per m². However, studios are typically smaller and more expensive per square metre. The average sold price in the area recently was €485,000 for larger homes, so this is a different segment. It's on the high side for its size, but the central location explains part of that.
The energy label is D, which is less efficient than most of the current supply in the Molenbuurt, all other available homes in the neighbourhood have label A. A D label means higher energy costs for heating and hot water, especially in a building from 1901. You can expect a reasonable energy bill, but not as low as a modern home.
